BW Gottschee U7 won the 2010 Independence Cup! Gottschee offense was on fire Saturday scoring 30 goals in 4 games. Forwards Owen Cole, Steve Rasizzi and Piero Elias were unstoppable while midfielders Jack McGlynn, Tyler Curmi, Lucas Goncalves and Shai Azoulay controlled the game. The stand out of the tournament was Joey "play station" Pennolino playing goalkeeper and center defense. Joey terrorized opposing teams’ offense with his hard tackles and "play station moves". The two players missing from this tournament were Lucas Osiecki on loan to Poland for the summer and Matthew Kieblesz is in Florida not too far from the US Soccer National training camp in Bradenton.

The BW Gottschee U-8a squad defeated Islas Malvenas 2-1 in the CJSL Playoff Championship Game on June 21^st at Juniper Park. A complete team effort rounded out a very superb season. Down 1-0 in the early minutes of play and playing without 2 key starters, Gottschee was able to break down the Malvenas defense when Matthew Laya-Vatell one timed a through ball from Jeremy Saravia past the Malvenas keeper. In the second half Matthew Oisieki scored on a free kick just outside the penalty area giving Gottschee the lead for good. Justin Silva had a great game in goal and Joseph Kolarszch on defense.

On Father’s Day at Stony Brook University, the GU11 won the Waldbaum’s Cup by defeating Franklin Square 5-1. Blau Weiss came out with a 2-1 halftime lead on a pair of beautiful goals by Medina Mulic, one of which she first dribbled through the heart of the defense then the goalie for an easy tap in. Tournament MVP Maia Cabrera poached herself a hat trick in the second half as the girls picked up the attacking pace against scorching heat and waves of opposition substitutes. Midfielder Diana Paravatos, defenders Julianna Lignowski and Isabelle Montesinos deserve mention for their relentless full game effort under these conditions. The Waldbaum’s Cup along with last week’s league title gives Gottschee a "double" in their division. What a Father’s Day!!!

The U18 lost to Albertson 3-2 last Saturday at Randal’s Island. In a high scoring 1^st half, Albertson took a 2-0 lead before Juan Chang pulled one back for Gottschee. Late in the half, Albertson made it 3-1, but Dominic Sarle, who has been one of the standout players this season, made it 3-2 just before the break. In the 2^nd half both teams had chances but failed to convert.

The U16 squandered a chance for a spot in the playoffs with a lackluster performance against Albertson. Albertson opened the scoring in the final minute of the 1^st half on a low shot that gave them the 1-0 half time lead. Gottschee’s opportunity came early in the 2^nd half but good work from Albertson’s goalie kept Gottschee at bay. With four minutes left, Cristofar Soldivar’s shot into the lower corner finally got Gottschee the equalizer. With 40 seconds to regulation, Albertson scored on a twisting shot from the right for the game winner. Did the U16s give themselves enough of a chance? – That’s the lingering question.

Gottschee’s Jonathan Zvi turned in a sterling performance as the U 14 pre-academy stunned Albertson 4-1.
The action began in the 14th minute when Zvi received a through ball down the left wing, beat the defender before crossing to Bradely Nestor for the easy tap in – Gottschee 1, Abertson 0. And in the 28th minute Zvi received a ball at the top of the box, turned on his defender and buried it in the back of the net for the 2-0 lead at half time. In the 60th minute, a beautiful Jesus Sanmartin pass sent Anthony Viteri on a breakaway to put Gottschee up 3-0. Albertson got one back in the 77th minute on a shot from the top of the box. But Zvi ensured that there would be no last minute surprises when he found Gabrielle Maurello in the box for another easy tap in as Gottschee finished with an impressive 4-1 win.

The U11 Celtic lost on PKs to Huntington Boys Club in the New York State Cup finals last Saturday. Playing up one year in the U12 division, Gottschee played a delightful game of skillful, attacking soccer. Indeed, for most of the first half there was only one team on the field as Gottschee dominated their older, physically stronger, counterparts, but were unable to get on the board.

Heading towards the break, it was becoming quite evident that Gottschee was starting to tire. Reenergized, Gottschee continued to dominate the play, and 15 minutes into the second half, a Brian Sarmago’s left-footed 16-yard blast put Gottschee up 1-0. But HBC would get the equalizer four minutes later, as the game headed for a dream finish. Unfortunately, Gottschee’s John Arias picked up a red card with 10 minutes remaining in regulation. I did not see the infraction but the general consensus was that it was unwarranted. With one man down, and the physical superiority of HBC beginning to take its toll, Gottschee, nevertheless, fought gallantly to send the game into OT and then PK shootout. In the shootout HBC won 5-4.

The Boys U10 Inter team blasted their final competition this Saturday June 5, 2010 in their CJSL game against Asphalt Green Boys U11 team 7-1. Gottschee dominated the first half scoring 3 goals and allowing only one. First-half goals were scored by Daniel Zvi, Carlo Ritaccio, and JP Rodriguez. The second half proved to be even more devastating for Asphalt Green as Gottschee’s Emmanuel Leon, Jamie Diluzio, Daniel Zvi, and Cameron Sutton slammed 4 more into the back of the net. Strong defensive plays were made by Eldin Lekperic, Jimmy Barrios, Alex Jovanovski, and the impenetrable sweeper Filip Glowala. Keen goaltending by Fiachra McDonagh and Stephen Kopsachilis kept Asphalt Green’s tally to a minimum. Inter was proud to welcome  Matteo Ritaccio back on to the pitch as he returned from injury and helped to add a dynamic flair to the game.

 This is the second meeting of the teams in the last 7 days. The outcome was BWG 2 - Kosmos 1. The game was totally different from the last meeting with a tight and lack luster defensive play by both teams. BWG had more of the attacking play as the Kosmos played an offside trap game trying to slow down our offensive attack. The first half ended 0-0 with good play coming from Gottschee’s back four and the goalie . The 2nd half began with a quick scoring strike from the Kosmos, putting them ahead 1-0.  The Kosmos kept playing the offside trap and slowing down the pace of the game hoping to hang on and at times actually delayed all their restarts. It did not work for midway through the 2nd half Matt Priano received a throw in from Mark Higgins, dribbled into the box and scored a lawn mower goal on the short side of the goalie, breaking Matts’ goal missing drought. Later in the half after receiving a pass from Peyton, Sebastian Choinski unleashed a one-time blistering shot into the upper corner of the old onion bag , making the score 2-1. The game ended with a 2-1 win for Gottschee.

BW Gottschee’s U8A undefeated streak came to an end this past Saturday with a loss to Islas Malvenas 4-1. Although putting a lot of pressure on up front, Gottschee could not find a way of scoring. The kids just tried to do too much. There was way too much individual play rather than the team play that had gotten them all the wins that they have accumulated this season. Failure to pressure the ball resulted in Malvenas’ last 3 goals which were all scored in the last 5 minutes of play. Gottschee’s lone goal came off a corner kick which deflected off a Malvinas player for an own goal.On Sunday Gottschee U8A lost to Elmont 7-2.   The two goals came from Jeremy Savaria and Matthew Osiecki. Gottschee couldn’t match the speed that Elmont had with their kick and run style. The U8A put out a good effort because they were working the ball up with skill and precision but couldn’t finish in the attacking 3rd.

BW Gottschee Blue Devils played in the 2010 Copita Alianza in Flushing Meadow park sponsored by VERIZON. The Blue Devils will be back on May 23rd for the semi final after going undefeated and winning their group this past Sunday. The first game BWG Blue Devils 6; American Juniors Little Angels 1. The second game they defeated Atleticos del Bronx 3-0; and the third game Pumas 11-0. Later that same day the very tired U7’s traveled back to Brennan field for a 6:30pm league game against a very big Hempstead PeeWeez and were defeated 9-2. Impressed by the skill level of the younger Gottschee team, Hempstead asked for a rematch even though they won. 

On Saturday, May 15, the BW Gottschee Under 8 D Team played against the Super Soccer Stars at Brennan Field.  After a close first half, the Super Soccer Stars pulled away in the second half with a 6-3 victory over Gottschee.  Shai Azoulay displayed great speed and ball handling skills, scoring all three goals for Gottschee.

Saturday, the GU11 beat Rockville Center 4-3. Maia Cabrera(2) and Paulina Ambrus got 3 quick goals, but RVC battled back with 2 of their own to give Gottschee a slim 3-2 halftime lead. Things tightened up in the 2nd half and RVC tied it 3-3 late in the game, but Maia Cabrera brilliantly dribbled 3 defenders and completed her hat trick in extra time to send the small crowd at the Soccer Park into frenzy. RVC was up 2 points at the start of the day and the win gave Gottschee sole possession of first place with 3 games to go.

On Sunday, they advanced to the finals of the Waldbaums Cup by defeating Cold Spring Harbor 4-0. An early deadlock saw Gottschee hold off a bigger CSH who kept trying to score from distance. Patient attacking from every angle yielded a goal a minute before half time and the girls never looked back as their superior condition and awareness took over the rest of the game. Maia Cabrera got herself another hat trick, Carolyn Langer scored her first goal with the team while midfielders Medina Mulic, Diana Paravatos and sweeper Isabelle Montesinos displayed impressive ball control all game long.

The Gottschee GU-10 played against the Massapequa Rockets, the final score was 1-1.

BW Gottschee’s Dominic Sarle, ranked #1 in the Region enjoyed another brilliant outing in last weekend’s double header. Sarle who represented the USA at the Under 17 level is currently shortlisted on the USA Men’s Under 20 national team.

 

Strong technically – a trademark of Gottschee ball – Sarle’s play is easy on the eyes, but can be an absolute nightmare for defenders. In the 1^st game of the doubleheader against Oakwood, it was a quick pass from Sarle that set up Glenn Whelan for Gottschee to go up 1-0 15 minutes into the game. From there, Gottschee lost their way giving up three quick goals. The 2^nd half was evenly played with Oakwood winning on a final score of 4-1.

On Sunday, the gale winds were a force to contend with in the game against South Central. But Gottschee came out strong, and quickly got on the board on a goal by Dom Sarle in the 15^th minute. The second goal, by Juan Chang, was masterminded by Sarle with a beautiful move on the goal line beating two defenders before laying it off to his teammate for the easy tap in. In the 2^nd half, Gottschee continued to dominate and Sarle scored his 2^nd goal of the game. Souleymane Kone added a 4^th goal to complete the 4-0 shutout. With three goals on the weekend, Dominic Sarle currently leads the team in goals with 8 for the season.

Gottschee squad traveled up to Connecticut to face Oakwood. Gottschee opened the scoring in 41^st minute when Aaron Dennis accelerated from the left side into the box and surprised the goalie with a low hard shot into inside the near post that found the back of the net. In the 62^nd minute, Christian Johnson finished the scoring with a low shot into the far post from 11 yards out. Gottschee, rewarded for their strong 2^nd half play, took home the win and three points. On Sunday, the U16s were back at it playing at South Central Premier in Bridgeport. BW Gottschee fell behind on a counter attack in the 23^rd minute 1-0. 2 minutes later, Gottschee quickly struck back on a rocket shot by Andrew LoManto from 20 yards out that swerved away from the opposing keeper and under the crossbar to knot the score 1-1. Gottschee had several opportunities throughout the 2^nd half but could not convert and settled for the tie.

In the first half, Oakwood scored in the 30th minute from a scramble in the box. BW Gottschee had many opportunities hitting the crossbar on three occasions but could not put one away. Final Score 1-0 Oakwood. On Sunday, playing with heavy winds, Gottschee was able to control the game and got on the board on the 11^th minute from a pass from Jonathan Zvi to Jeremy Fedus for the tap in. In the 30^th minute, Bradley Nestor put a pass to Jonathan Zvi at the top of the box who then turned on the defender and was able to place it over the goalie’s head for the 2-0 lead and that’s where it ended.

For a brief moment last Saturday, NYS Cup semifinalist, Wappinger Falls, had no idea what hit them – was it the impending rainstorm or the Gottschee tornado? Within 10 minutes of the start the score line read 4-0 on goals by 

Omir Fernandez, Conor McGlynn, Brian Saramago and Timothy Weah. Dante Giraldi, Tristan Curmi and Ben Lekperic joined the party in the middle of the first half, and they all scored as Gottschee went to the break 11-0. 

Gottschee, playing a year up, put on an unforgettable display of the beautiful game. The youngsters, playing one year up, made it all look so simple. It was beautiful in its simplicity. Gottschee’s coach, Paul McGlynn, must be commended for nurturing a culture of coaching and training that lends itself to such freedom and uninhibited play. Nothing is uglier, or for that matter, more disgustingly boring than watching a coach-dominated game. Joy-stick coaches someone called them.

The large crowd at Brennan Field last Saturday was treated to a wonderful soccer game from two very talented teams, BWG of New York and PDA of New Jersey. In the 20^th minute, PDA got on the board with a header off of a cross into the box. The battle continued relentlessly but the score remained 1-0 PDA at the half. At the 56^th minute mark, Gottschee got the equalizer on a beautiful one touch combination play; Bradely Nestor sent a through ball to Anthony Viteri who netted it from some 18 yards out. In the 60^th minute, PDA fought back to take the lead a second time courtesy of a diving header. But Gottschee got the equalizer in the 65^th minute with another combination play with Federico Curbelo sending a through ball to Bradley Nestor who scored with a right-footed shot. Earlier in the half, it was poor defensive work by Nestor that led to PDA’s second goal, and Nestor must have really felt good to get the equalizer. But PDA kept attacking and in the 75^th minute they took the lead for a final score of 3-2.

This past Saturday for CJSL the boys matched up against Silver Lake in Staten Island where they got off to a slow start and it seems they could not recover, losing the game 4-1.

Gottschee let up two early goals in the second half but were on the attack. Winning a penalty with 10 minutes left and pressuring CDC was not enough to complete the comeback. Final score 2-1.

BWG was able to take the game with a 4-2 victory.

replied with a good goal, but Gottschee didn’t lie down and got another scored again before the break. The second half was well contested with Gottschee grabbing two more goals and Patriots one.

Both games saw Gottschee dominate 2nd half play and win going away by holding the ball and creating all kinds of attack. Maia Cabrera(7) and Paulina Ambrus(3) scored all the goals from many chances that were presented to them as every single player was responsible for the weekend’s balanced success.

Blau Weiss Gottschee Soccer - The Audacity of Youth

By Sham Samaroo

The CJSL’s Annual Indoor Tournament remains one constant source of immeasurable success, and that, thanks to its hardworking secretary, Emil Cohill.
And it was to the CJSL’s Under 8 tournament that I went on Valentine’s Day to get my soccer fix. Indeed, there is something inexplicably enthralling, delightfully heartwarming about six and seven-year-olds kicking around a soccer ball. I have the feeling that it’s the innocence, the carefree, egoless exuberance that has something to do with it. But I could be wrong. In any case, I must confess, I thoroughly enjoyed myself watching the promising talent on display.

If ever one wonders how is it that an amateur club like Blau Weiss Gottschee is able to compete with the “big moneyed” organizations, well the answer is quite simple – the club’s unerring commitment to its youth program where talent is identified, encouraged, and given the unfettered freedom to flourish. The last point cannot be emphasized enough. One of the pillars of Gottschee’s continued success over the years is the club’s philosophy at the younger levels. The importance of allowing kids to learn on their own, to self discover as it were. For example, when six-year-old Jack McGlynn sashayed through the opposition and sent a left-footed blast into the back of the net, can a coach really teach such spontaneous creativity at this age? I don’t think so. But he certainly can interfere with it!

The CJSL Indoor Tournament

Boys Under 8 Division A Results
Gottschee fielded two teams in this division. In the qualifying round, Gottschee “A” fell to Islas Malvinas 0-1 before recovering to shutout GJOA 3-0 and Brooklyn Italians 5-0, and earn a place in the semifinals. The Gottschee “B” team failed to make the playoffs despite a 1-0 win over SI Alliance, a tie with Super Soccer Stars, and a 1-3 loss to Brooklyn Patriots.
In the semifinals, Gottschee “A” routed the Brooklyn Patriots 5-3 but fell to Islas Malvinas by a similar score line to take home silver.

Boys Under 8 Division B Results
Here again Gottschee fielded two teams. The Gottschee “C” team defeated Kosmos/NY Greek Americans 1-0 in their opening game. I saw the action in the second game when Gottschee played to a dramatic 1-1 tie with Islas Malvinas. I watched this game in the company of Emil Cohill and we both marveled at the wonderful soccer on display by both teams. And these are six and seven-year–olds mind you! Gottschee “C” made light work of SC Gjoa SABA in their 3rd game defeating them 6-2 to earn a place in the semifinals. In the semis they met and defeated Cosmos 6-4 to await the finalist from the bottom of the draw.
In that draw, a very young Gottschee “D” team played to a 1-1 tie with Brooklyn Italians before falling to Cosmos 0-1 in the 3rd game. Earlier the team earned a walkover from Eleftheria Pancyprian in their opening game. It was enough to get them a berth in the semifinals where they ran out of steam and lost 0-9 to Islas Malvinas.
The finals saw a hard-fought but delightful battle between Gottschee “C” and Islas Malvinas with Gottschee falling at the final hurdle 2-3. The goal scorers for Gottschee were Jack McGlynn and Luke Osiecki.
